Little David's First Hanukkah!

Happy Hanukkah!


First Hanukkah!

Well, this is Little David's first Hanukkah as you can see on top and to the left.

There is much to be thankful for - that's for sure.

Little David is doing great, born at 7 pounds and now 8.7 oz already - so he is eating like crazy; (and pooping too - so all systems are go literally and figuratively).



Festival of Lights

Just thought I would take a minute to share our family Festival of Lights celebration.

Menorah & Dreidels

Here is our menorah on the right - one candle represents the first night (the shamis or candle on the bottom is used to light each candle each night for 8 nights - yes 8 nights of gifts kids you got it right). Summer and baby are in the background - busy as you can see.

Now for the dreidels (or tops) - some are low tech and traditional and some are very cool high tech dreidels. Never had these cool high tech dreidels when I was a kid. I got the dreidel for Summer (sure David - but who is playing with it all night?).

See the letters - if you get hay you get half of the gelt or chocolate money, if you get nun you get nothing, if you get gimel you get the jackpot, but if you get the shin you give to give it all back - what a drag! What it reminds you of life - what a surprise - a Jewish game without some deep reality or message to it. What were you thinking?















Gifts

Oh yes - there were gifts. Sarah did great - tons of stuff from Victoria Secret - now how old is she again.













Dad got a Daddy Diaper Dootie outfit (with diapers and wipes and junk).



















Summer got some cool massage oils, that high tech dreidel remember (and Bitsy gets a piece of the action too).




End of the Year

Nice to end the year so positively (minus those late nights little guy - but we don't mind - he is actually a pretty good sleeper (during the daytime)).

Happy Holidays from the Fetterman Family!
